Generally the death per passenger mile is about 28x, if you correct for gender demographics the rate drops to 18x. If we assume you'd be driving alone either way correcting for passenger miles brings it to 12x. The average driver in the US loses 0.33 years of life from fatal car accidents, so a reasonable ballpark estimate would be 4 years of life lost swapping that for a motorcycle.
Some other motorcycle fatality stats that are probably partially corrected for with the gender control: 66% had measurable blood alcohol concentration (vs 37% for cars) 36% the driver is not licensed to drive a motorcycle (vs 9% for cars) 47% involve no other vehicle (vs 22% for cars)
Not directly the same, but I live with only a motorcycle for transportation and US public are generally surprised how much I can pack on. I shop at Costco and bring home about $300 worth of groceries. I've moved lumber for fencing. Hills would be killer on a pedal bike but the capacity I wouldn't imagine to be a problem.
